Toshiba Qosmio X775-3DV78
The Toshiba Qosmio X775-3DV78 ($1,899.99 list) targets a specific kind of gamer: an early adopter who wants to experience hard-core 3D games in the actual third dimension. This laptop requires you to wear gawky Nvidia glasses in order to view the 17.3-inch 1080p widescreen in stereoscopic 3D. Apart from this engaging gimmick, this Qosmio also runs one of Nvidia's most powerful graphics chips and an Intel quad-core processor. Unfortunately, you're laying down a lot of money for a tacky design and battery life that won't last through an episode of Law & Order. A better bet would be the Editors' Choice Alienware M17X (Sandy Bridge) ($2,254 direct, 4.5 stars). A laptop's design is as much a part of its gaming persona as the parts it runs. Unfortunately, the texture the X775 uses over its gunmetal-gray top resembles an artsy adaptation of scratch marks, and the bit of red paint applied to the back of the laptop and logo seems downright sloppy. Furthermore, the plastic housing isn't as elegant as the aluminum coating on the Acer Aspire AS8950G-9839 or as menacing as the M17X's matte black finish. The X775 weighs a hulking 7.9 pounds, although the M17X and Asus G73SW-BST6 ($1,299.99 list, 3.5 stars) are both heavier, at 8.3 pounds.
Toshiba Qosmio X775-3DV78 Review
Today's gaming and entertainment laptops need to cram the most cutting-edge processors, blazing graphics cards, a ton of storage space, and a gorgeous display into a notebook that can catch the eye of picky multimedia mavens. Toshiba set out to do just that with its 17-inch Qosmio X775-3DV78, and took it a step further by throwing in a 3D-enabled display and a pair of Nvidia's active shutter 3D glasses. But gamers and entertainment afficionados don't just want power, they also want great style, and they want it all at a decent price. So does the $1,899 Qosmio X775 satisfy?The Qosmio X775 is wrapped in Toshiba's X2 Fusion finish, which covers the X775's lid and deck in row after row of asymmetrical, horizontal textured stripes. The stripes have an interesting way of reflecting light and do a nice job resisting fingerprints, but the look may be a little too aggressive for some. We have a bigger problem with the color choices. The chassis is a bright reflective silver that gives way to red. It looks a little tacky.At the top of the deck, you'll find the X775's Media Control Bar, complete with power, Wi-Fi control, 3D, play and pause, and volume controls.
Toshiba Qosmio X775-3DV78 3D Laptop
In stark counterpoint to small, fast systems like the MacBook Air, big-screened, heavy, packed-to-the-gills desktop-alternative laptops are still alive and well, although sometimes a little hard to justify. Toshiba's Qosmio line of laptops has been a well-known example of that type of massive machine for years, and 2011's update to the Qosmio largely continues the trend with a new design. The $1,899 Toshiba Qosmio X775-3DV78 is bulky, heavy (8 pounds), and expensive, but it's also got top-of-the-line features. A quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, powerful Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 graphics, and dual hard drives with a combined 1.25TB capacity come wrapped in a chassis that's--no joke--smaller and lighter than previous Qosmios, although still far larger than any average laptop. This Qosmio is part of a small class of stylized large-screen 3D laptops, very similar to the Dell XPS 17 3D Edition or HP Envy 17 3D. This particular Qosmio also comes packaged with Nvidia 3D Vision technology (the most common way for laptops to display stereoscopic 3D) and a pair of Nvidia 3D active-shutter glasses, meaning it can play 3D PC games and 3D Blu-ray movies. Both look good on the large 17.3-inch 1,920x1,080-pixel display, or either can be output to a 3D-compatible HDTV with Nvidia 3DTV Play software.
